Chapter 13: Escape and Survive
Before leaving, at the door of the inn, the idiot found that the fat man who was talking to him was still looking at him and the delusion, and when the man's eyes collided with the idiot, the man panicked and avoided it, and got into the carriage that was about to leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you looking at? you still want to ride in the carriage?" asked the smirk beside him.
"No, every step of the past few days has been something to enjoy. The idiot shook his head and said, "I looked at it because I thought that the person who just got into the carriage might have something to do with the Millennium Sword Duel. β
"Yes! He patted him on the shoulder and said.
The idiot said: "I saw that he went to the backyard to practice swords in the morning, and it was easy to think of it as a "sword", but listening to the girl's tone, she seemed to know something about this person?"
Delusional didn't want to answer him directly, so he asked first: "How much do you know about the many families in this world?"
The idiot thought for a moment and said, "It's just a group of family members who cooperate with each other in a circle." β
"Well, it's true that you think so, but in this world, there are people outside the sky. No matter how far you go in the future, as long as you are still on the rivers and lakes, you can't prevent what kind of flying trouble, what troublesome trivial things, and the forces behind it can help you select the most tricky ones, so as not to be bothered by flies. He exhaled in vain, "Not only the rivers and lakes in front of you, but everywhere the rivers and lakes are like this." β
The idiot said in a low voice: "But it can be a talisman, or it can be an order, the battle between the rivers and lakes is often caused by the confrontation between forces, and the existence or absence of these forces behind it are all gains and losses, I would rather choose to have nothing to worry about." β
looked at him vainly and smiled, "Ha! Jing Shui Yi is really a strange person, his character can be passed down through swordsmanship, I should really take you to see other swordsmen early to scatter your mind, otherwise gather in Jing Shui Yi in one place, I'm afraid I will mistake you!"
The idiot looked puzzled: "Why did the girl say this?"
"I'll talk about the thousand-year-old sword duel later, I'll tell you the story of your master first. Without waiting for the idiot to express her opinion, she began to speak, "There are many people with the surname Jing in the world, but if you hear someone talk about 'Jingmen' or 'Jing's family' in Zhongzhou Mansion, it can only refer to your master and their family." Now the head of the Jing family is named Jing Bei, and he has two sons, the eldest Jing Che is your master Jing Shuiyi, and the second is named Jing Hao, who has become a famous wizard because of your master's affairs. β
The idiot said: "In addition to my master's martial arts, he is proficient in medical skills, which should be due to his family." But for some reason, the second uncle became a wizard. β
"Wu, the medicine is the same source, this is not difficult to understand, and it is said that the second son has behaved quite strangely since he was a child, and the sorcerer's sensitivity is naturally different from ordinary people, which is good and bad. Some people can't take care of themselves, lying in bed all day long, but they can calculate the lives of others, this kind of people in addition to sitting and waiting for death, want to be based on the world, being a wizard is the easiest way to tell fortunes. The meaning of her later words is unclear, but it makes the idiot establish Jing Hao's impression in her heart like this.
Delusion continued: "And your master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has made rapid progress, and suddenly one day he was bumped into by the second brother when he was practicing martial arts, when his father and several uncles were present, the second son had no intention of calculating Jing Shuiyi's life, and it was a child's mouth openly, and he directly said the words 'refuse to fight and win', no one cared at the time, but Jing Shuiyi never won the sword competition with others in the future, only to know that sentence had determined Jing Shuiyi's sword destiny. And Jing Shuiyi is not the only one, there are already a few people in the Jing family who have been counted and told by the second son, and they have all been destined to escape. β
The idiot pondered for a moment and said, "Such a strange person should have already seen through his fate." Although it is an unwritten rule not to tell one's fortune, who can restrain a person who really has the ability? When I go to Zhongzhou, I must find this second uncle to calculate it for me, and I don't know if I can climb high with my master. β
"Aren't you afraid? Fortune teller for Jing Hao doesn't take your feelings into account at all. β
"I would like to live a more understanding life, if Master does not know that his invincibility is caused by his fate, he will inevitably get more suffering. The idiot said, remembering that when he practiced the sword with Jing Shui Yi before, no matter how he always balanced the power, now it seems that it is not that Jing Shui Yi is properly controlled, but that he can't suppress the immature idiot on this sword.
"I disagree. The delusional voice became indifferent.
"Huh?" the idiot was shocked.
"What kind of predestined words are just words of self-deception!" said vainly, bowing his head.
This may be related to her own experience, the idiot doesn't want to ask, but after experiencing this embarrassment, she went all the way to Zhongzhou, and the two no longer communicated, and the thousand-year-old sword duel that was going to be talked about was gone.
......
In the lonely city of wind and fire, there was silence after a strange change, and as this change progressed, people saw that the wind and fire in the sky gradually disappeared, and the person who couldn't open his eyes could indeed make a fire without being beaten and scolded. Without the threat of wind and fire, the people took off their cloaks and sat around the campfires, as if they were on the same side as the king who beat and scolded others, and opposed to the doctor who was still wearing the cloak and waiting for his next order.
"What are you saying, this way, I can't hear you complaining when I rest, I'm really uncomfortable?" Jing Xie's expression was relaxed, but his tone was full of hostility.
Wang Quan replied coldly: "I have nothing to hide from you, and now I have nothing to hide from you here, this is what I have to say." β
Jing Xie spread his right hand towards his face, and there was nothing on the palm, but he looked at it carefully, as if there were words on it for him to read, word by word, and said, "Okay! I am an outsider, you are your own people, you are familiar with that door as if it were your own house, and I am not familiar with it." All I'll do is invite you back to your own home, I'll be a guest, that's all!"
Wang Quan just obeyed uncharacteristically: "This operation, we are all at your disposal, as long as you have an order, we will carry it out." β
The obedience of the royal power brought Jing Xie back to his senses, and he hid his right hand back in his sleeve, he couldn't believe that he had just caused the chaos and irrationality caused by anger and other emotions, and he spoke out of time, but fortunately he trusted and tolerated everyone, otherwise something bad would have happened.
He carefully combed in his heart, the door that suddenly appeared, it was the same as the end point of the dungeon of the prison capital, so that everyone was so surprised, the opportunity for the door to appear was the sword of Jing Shuiyi he pulled out, he thought, someone in the lonely city must have activated the mechanism that made this door appear, so that people who have no power to fight back can escape. But someone else saw through the mechanism and used Jing Shuiyi's sword to stop the operation of the mechanism, could this person be Jing Shuiyi himself? Or is there someone else, does that person want to hide the secrets of this lonely city and the prison capital, or does he deliberately set up a situation to lead him deeper and deeper into the evil spirit?
"Doctor Jing!" someone called Jing Xie, and he followed the sound and saw a person running through the pile of campfires, "Doctor Jing, I have something to report." The man didn't look out of the ordinary, except that his face was unusually cold.
"What's the matter?"
"When the villain was young, he and his uncle learned the spell of manipulating foreign objects with one hand, and he was especially good at fiddling with wind and fire, but I tried to attract the wind and fire above this lonely city many times before, but to no avail, I felt that there must be something strange about this 'wind and fire'. He used humble words, but he made Jing Xie feel no close to the king.
Wang Quan grabbed and said: "Then you still need to say that this wind and fire is naturally controlled by the organ, and it will disappear with this door." β
The man said, "No, I mean, this 'wind and fire' is not 'wind' and 'fire'. After he finished speaking, he turned up his palm and read something in his mouth, but saw a wisp of flame floating up like a silk thread in the campfire, hanging on his palm, whirling and rippling, floating like a swimming dragon, so that the two of them were stunned.
The fire in the palm of his hand quickly burned out, leaving black ashes to fall into the palm of his hand.
"What's your name?" Jing Xie asked.
The man replied, "Cheap name Order." β
"I have a hunch that your skills will be of great use to me, so follow me in the future, and if you have a partner to call in, you can save useless humility in future conversations. β
"Yes!" Qiu Ling readily agreed.
"So, when will you enter that door?" asked Wang Quan.
Jing Xie said: "You can do it at any time, but you just want to tell everyone that you must wear the cloak that can protect against wind and fire, and neither the lonely city nor the hell can be regarded as one thing because of this door, and wind and fire are exactly the most significant difference between the two." β
"Okay, then I'll go and inform everyone now, and get ready to go. Hurry up and get this done, I'm going back to see my good friend!"
"Hah!
Torches were scattered from campfire, and the campfire gradually became much less, and the torches soon gathered in front of the door. There are people who are good at picking locks, and they will open the door in three or two clicks, and perhaps this door lock does not mean to block outsiders. Behind the door, there was a staircase leading to the underground, and everyone unanimously made way for Jing Xie to let him walk in front. Jing Xie smiled, although reluctantly, he could only acquiesce. But when he saw that the eyeless man who was making the fire suddenly stepped forward a few steps forward and blocked the evil spirit, he said, "I...... I can see, let me find my way ahead. After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jing Xie to reply, and ran to the front on his own. Jing Xie knew that his sense of light was different from that of ordinary people, and he thought that he might really be able to find something important, so he kept silent.
After walking for a short time, by the light of the fire, everyone saw that at the end of the stairs was a smooth pavement paved with stone bricks. The Flame Man spun and bounced along the pavement, a strange smile on his face. Despite his exaggerated movements, the speed at which he was moving forward not only did not slow down, but became faster and faster, and everyone was in a hurry to keep up, and in a hurry, they squeezed the thorn demon who had no intention of chasing to the back of the group. Jing Xie sighed, but saw that Qiu Ling's royal power was still following him.
The people walked for a while, but where the fire shone in the light, they did not see the end of the road. But the initial fear has gradually subsided.
"Ah!?" the fireman screamed suddenly, loud in the ground, and he held his head, trying to avoid something in pain, but it seemed to have surrounded him, and he simply fell to the ground, rolling towards the crowd, and they were forced to stop.
Everyone only felt strange, if there was no dancing with his hands, this road was just calm, only the sound of torches burning, and they didn't care about his behavior, and the few people who walked in front turned around and signaled to Jing Xie to ask them to lead the way. Jing Xie nodded, and the team was about to move forward again, and there was not even a verbal exchange during the whole process, or because of this underground, no one wanted to say a few more words.
"Whewββ, Whew-" The sudden sound startled everyone, it was from the fireman who had explored the path before, everyone could hear clearly, it was his breathing, it was very heavy, but only the breath left to go out, he had stopped struggling, his head was in the direction of the team, lying on the ground.
The party moved on, and the new Pathfinder picked up the Burning Man as he prepared to pass by, but when he reached the man's side, the man stood up, his limbs and features twisted in pain, and the new Pathfinder saw the man's distorted face facing him, and the man's mouth grew and his throat glowed with a blinding light. He took a few steps back abruptly, stretched out his arms and motioned for everyone not to come any closer, only to see that it was not only the inside of his throat that was glowing, but every inch of flesh on his body glowed with the same light, a light of indescribable color.
"I haven't seen it, what color is this?" Jing Xie blurted out unconsciously.
"Oh! it's broken!" Qiu Ling seemed to understand the situation, and he immediately cast a spell, with a high-pitched and powerful voice, "Extremely Intentional Fire Extinguish!"
The change was abrupt, and everyone exclaimed, and the torch in their hands was suddenly extinguished, followed by another exclamation, and they saw that there were many shimmers of the same color as the light emitted by the fire-making man, scattered around everyone. The thorn evil looked at it and thought about it, and this glimmer was so faint that it was difficult to see it under the firelight, but when he could find it, he could actually follow the glimmer and look far away, and see another staircase at the end of the road.
"There's a master here, get out of here!" cried Qiu Ling, and after he finished speaking, he quickly ran back the way he came. But few people responded, or the color that had never been seen before was too wonderful to attract everyone, or Qiu Ling's emergency trick was too mysterious and surprised everyone.
"Do you hear that?" the fireman shouted back, "Let's go!" The momentum of this sentence has made the ground shake, but it is the most helpless, and everyone is surprised, the fireman suddenly underwent strange changes, the original glowing skin and flesh dissipated like dust, leaving nothing, and then dissipated the bones, but there was always a layer of clouds on it that would not dissipate.
"That's fire! He's on fire!" Beginning with the sound of someone who didn't know who, the voices of the people came one after another, and they had already woken up to the fact that the connection between this glimmer and the spontaneous combustion of the man who made the fire could not be more obvious, and the thorn had not yet moved, but had been pushed and moved by the fleeing people, and the royal power grabbed him and protected him from being trampled under the feet of the crowd.
After a while, Jing Xie came back to his senses and found that he had returned to the door with the others, and they all expressed different shocks on their faces.
"Have you counted the number of people?" Jing Xie asked directly to the royal power beside him.
"No, you can see that it's a lot less than you can see. Wang Quan said, "Seeing that you were all confused down there just now, I am really in a hurry." β
"Eh! Sedation is not a daze. Jing said, "I need to see, I need to think, I need to find out this secret, I want to bring it back." β
Wang Quan sneered: "If you want to bring it back, you have to have a life, and if you don't have a life, everything is empty talk." β
"Huh?" Jing Xie was startled, and then said relaxedly: "Wang Quan, if you have the life to go back alive, don't practice 'one word into a prophecy' again." β
As he was thinking, Wang Quan heard the voices of lamentation and wailing among the people.
"What are you crying for, don't cry!" roared the king.
"Alas, didn't you take a closer look at the wonders of Fang Cai?" Jing asked.
"How...... What's wrong. Wang Quan's tone was a little strange, and he was looking up at the sky.
"I think the one who is on fire must have seen that color before, so that it would be easier to notice!" he said, seeing the expression of the king, almost indistinguishable from that of the weeping crowd.
"Look, it's only a little bit later than we are. β
Like waves, like whirlpools, and like a huge mouth, the terrifying fire seen underground is now appearing in the sky a few feet above the ground, and everyone realizes that this is the true face of the so-called "wind and fire", which is what the sacrificed fire-maker can see. In the eyes of everyone, it was this wave, the whirlpool, and the giant mouth were approaching little by little, its speed was getting faster and faster, and his momentum was getting stronger and stronger.
"Master Zu bless...... Master Zu blesses ......," Qiu Ling sat down cross-legged and whispered.
"There is no solution to the situation, such an ending has been doomed since I heard the words 'Wind and Fire Lonely City'. Hah!"
The whirlpool of waves that was still some distance away from a moment ago immediately swallowed everyone at this moment, all Jing Xie could do was to take out his left and right hands together, stretch out to the nearest royal power and Qiu Ling, respectively, and gently patted it, and grabbed it tightly.
......
It was dark again, and I don't know if it was because the combustible material had been burned out, but I could hear the footsteps of a man in the darkness, and then two fragile and difficult gasps loomed in the whistling of quicksand and wind.
"Do you know anything else about that strange fire?"
"Yes...... Yes! Listen to me!"
"There's no hurry. β
"Look at the kingship again...... He's dying. β
"He's going to be fine. Rest. β
"Yes......"
......
"Brother Jing, you're awake. β
"Brother Qingxun is really powerful! we can't escape your ears if we make any moves!" Jing Shuiyi said, after a few previous exchanges, he already knew that the owner of the voice coming from the right was named Qingxun.
"Look around, there's new food around you. Qing Xun said, "But somehow, this time Mr. Cang woke up later, he refined the medicinal body, and he should have woken up earlier than us." β
"Ah, yes. Jing Shuiyi began to rummage around for food, he got a steamed bun, tore it open and crushed the stuffing of the steamed bun into slag with his fingers before he felt that it was a steamed bun, he didn't care whether his hands were clean or not, he sent it directly to his mouth, no matter whether the matter of "eating in the dark" often needs to be done, the headquarters should be a difficult thing. But this time, Jing Shuiyi did it extremely difficult, and he was also inexplicable in his heart, but he kept waving his hand but couldn't find his mouth wide open.
"Uh...... Uh...... "I don't know if I want to ask for help or just want to express my surprise, Jing Shuiyi can only say something, but what comes out of his mouth is like a natural mute. He felt himself slowly fall as he saw the Venus above his head drift in front of him.
"Well, something must have happened, it's a fast-acting drug, and it usually takes a long time to take effect. Qing Xun's voice came clearly, but Jing Shuiyi's response was only the sound of breathing that became rapid.
"Alas, the old man has not woken up yet, and he will have to sleep a little longer. It is highly likely that this is an intrusion by outsiders to prevent the people imprisoned inside from adding trouble. After Qing Xun finished speaking, there was the sound of him getting up, the steady and natural footsteps only moved a few steps away and then stopped, Jing Shuiyi heard the footsteps stopped, and there was some snickering joy in his heart, thinking that he was too late to take effect on his own and had a seizure, and he didn't fall next to the food with a plop, and it was all kinds of hardships and helplessness to wake up again.
Qing Xun's voice still came clearly, "Uh...... I'm going to see what's going on out there, and I'll go back as soon as I go. After speaking, Jing Shuiyi only heard a burst of mechanism operation, the sound of wood and stone crashing, and then followed, first a gust of wind that hit his face, and then a few long-lost candles, the candlelight fell a few points, but it was like a cone thorn that made him slightly sober, and he was able to slightly raise the back of his neck to see Qing Xun's back in the distance, and knocked him out like a wooden stick.
......
After seeing the old bachelor that day, Qi Wuwei found that the wallet on his body was a little heavier, and it was a lot heavier.
A small restaurant opened in the most remote corner of Yantianjing, Zhongzhou Mansion, before the door can not walk a few steps to hit the wall in front, the wall and the door are so close that the close is exaggerated, so close that people can not tolerate the door at a glance, "the guest spirit that pipe is far away, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley." Couplet.
But the couplet was really well written, and Qi Wuwei was amazed when he saw it. But the fact is that this lunch is at the right time, but only Qi Wuwei is waiting to eat the food here. It's not that the food here is right for his appetite, it's that Qi Wuwei really doesn't like a lot of people, and this Zhongzhou Mansion is already the place where Qi Wuwei knows the most people in the world, in a place with a lot of people, Qi Wuwei just wants to find a slightly empty corner, use forgetfulness, and sleep until everyone is gone, but Baoding sometimes has his own ideas.
"It's so idle, Brother Wuwei!" As soon as the words fell, the speaker was already sitting opposite Qi Wuwei. β
Qi Wuwei looked up at the man and recognized that it was the fake Liangping City Supervisor who had attacked him at the foot of Fengyu Mountain at that time.
"You're also idle. β
The man laughed and said, "I'm different from you, I have a purpose, and I can't achieve it for the time being." Those who fail to achieve their goals are tormented, and those who suffer should not be called idlers. β
Qi Wuwei asked: "Ming people don't say dark words, what is your purpose?"
The man was still smiling, "Peel your skin, cramp your bones, and scatter ashes." β
Qi Wuwei looked innocent: "Ah, why do you want to do this to me?"
The man turned into an angry face and said word for word: "Well, I have already told you the reason, I want you to pay for the lives of the commanders of the six mountains of Wuzhou!"
Qi Wuwei sighed, "They are wicked people, damn them!"
"The rivers and lakes are like this, just with the friendship of a glass of wine, I am bound to repay this life debt!"
Qi Wuwei shook his head and said, "It's a pity ......"
The man pointed at him and asked, "What do you pity?"
"I, ah, thought that a person who escaped from food and clothing was in search of chivalrous justice, but now it seems that ...... He was looking for his own justice. β
"You ......"
"Yan Yun, do you know how many requests from the royal family and nobles Qi will receive when he walks around Zhongzhou, and how many of these requests are related to you?"
"That's enough!" Yan Yun slapped the table.
Qi Wuwei silently avoided Yan Yun's sharp gaze and looked at the people in the counter looking this way. Qi Wuwei knew that this shop was the only one who was fiddling with tables, chairs, benches, plates, dishes and chopsticks, abacus account books, and the back kitchen toilet, after Qi Wuwei ordered, he walked to the counter and took a nap as if nothing had happened, as if he knew that Qi Wuwei was in trouble today, and he didn't care about eating.
"Yo! I can't imagine that there is such a secluded place in Zhongzhou! It really opened our eyes!" The two walked in outside the door, and the first entrant said with a smile, only staring straight at Qi Wuwei, until he walked to Qi Wuwei, his eyes did not blink, but the latter lowered his head and did not speak, both of them carried swords with them, and when the thousand-year-old sword was about to start, it was very reasonable for this kind of person with a sword to wander around Zhongzhou.
"Uh...... Brother, what do you mean by just staring at me?" Qi Wuwei needed to transfer the pressure from Yan Yun.
The man's smile did not change, "Remember your face, those who died at my hands, they will come out to be my companion in my dreams." β
Qi Wuwei smiled: "Well...... You can wait until you kill me, and then take a closer look!"
Hearing this answer, the man's face changed, and the murderous aura was agitated, and the person behind him also sensed the tension of the situation, and his hand slowly stroked the sword.
"Ha! Your purpose is here! You're not an idler anymore!" Yan Yun also changed his anger into a smile, and turned to the person who came again, "Is there anything about me?"
The man leaned sideways and reached out in a "please" pose.
Qi Wuwei silently watched Yan Yun leave, he knew that if no one left cleanly, these two people would not do anything. Seeing that he was about to step out of the door, Yan Yun suddenly turned around and said, "Collect the corpse and let me come." I wish you both success. As he spoke, he said, "Farewell!"
Qi Wuwei was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly figured it out, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Yes, what he promised was only 'peeling the skin, cramping, crushing the bones, and scattering ashes', not including the 'kill me'." β
